The most popular humbucker worldwide. It has a powerful output, producing melodic highs, aggressive harmonics, and the right amount of sustain and distortion. It spans from sweet and warm tones to the raw rock ‘n’ roll sound. Compared to the SH-14 Custom-5, the JB has greater detail in the highs. Some users pair it with a 250K pot to sweeten the highs.

Recommended for the bridge position. Often pairs with a neck magnet like the SH-2n Jazz for tonal versatility or with an SH-1n ’59 for P.A.F. tones. With dual output wire.

Position Neck or Bridge.
